Please note that our centre is a facility designed for adults and only our Teaching Room is suitable for very small children. This room is used extensively by our instructors, particularly at weekends, and we cannot guarantee its availability however we try to keep it free at weekends between 13:30 - 14:40 for public use.

If you wish to climb as well as supervise your child/children, a second supervising adult is required. Our 'one on the wall' policy still applies (see above).

Please note that we cannot accommodate large groups without advanced booking. Any group consisting of more than 2 adults and 4 supervised children (2 per adult) is considered too large for entry to the wall. Groups of this size must book instruction in advance. (The minimum age for children is 7 years when under instruction.)
